Artist’s Statement
I started working with clay art at the age of 17 and fell in love with it.
And now at the age of 79 I am huppy to say it is still an important
part of my life. Many of the pieces shown here are made from Mount
Hood porcelain, a beautiful pure white clay, known for its smooth textures.
In displaying my at I hope to encourage others, of all ages to pick up
a brush and canvas, water colors, or to even try some Sculpy Clay...it
bakes in the oven! Or maybe someone might create something
wonderful with finger paints; not just for kids, really. Imagine, create,
enjoy no matter what medium is desired that will express you and your art.
In turn, thank you for taking a moment to view my art.
